Digits Live Show: Apple Approves Google Voice App for iPhone

Apple approved the Google Voice app for use on the iPhone, more than a year after the app was initially rejected. Google Voice is Google’s Internet phone application, which allows users route calls made to different phone numbers to a single phone and send free text messages, among other things. The Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati reports on speculation about why Apple rejected the app at first, whether the FCC was involved, and the competition between the two companies.
